But another amazing perk of having Shazam is the ability to use it with your streaming app, like Apple Music and Spotify, where you already listen to all your favorite music. This article will cover how to use Shazam with Spotify.
How to Connect Spotify and Shazam
If you have Spotify, it’s a good idea to connect it to Shazam, so you can enjoy your Shazam tracks. It doesn’t make sense to listen to your Shazams on one platform and all your other music on another.
Here’s how to connect to Spotify on Shazam:
Open Shazam on your phone. On iPhone or iPad, swipe up to reveal the Settings icon. On Android, swipe left to the Library from the main screen. Tap Settings in the top-left corner of the screen. Now tap Connect next to Spotify. If you’re currently connected to Apple Music, Shazam will show you a pop-up message explaining that connecting to Spotify will disconnect Shazam from Apple Music. Tap Connect to Spotify. Tap Open on the next prompt. Shazam will now ask you to authorize it to access Spotify on your behalf. Read the terms and tap Agree.

Shazam isn’t the only music recognition app on the market, but it is one of the most accurate apps for finding songs. And it’s also the most popular. That’s why people often point you to Shazam when asking for details of a song that’s playing around you.
